Sissy bar rattling

[ROONDOGG77]

Hi all-
just bought a 07 bigdog k9..... I noticed while I was riding it the other day that there was a very annoying rattling noise coming from the back of the bike. I believe it's coming from the sissy bar. Has anyone had this problem and what can be done to fix it. I've already tightened all the screws down. Still the rattling continues... Any advice is appreciated!

Check the Strut bolts to make sure they are tight.
Also, check the licence plate frame to make sure its not loose.

Can you tell if it's the actual sissy bar rattling or the struts it's connected to? You should be able to tighten the screws down where there is no slack and no chance of rattling. It could be the struts have come loose and need to be tightened up as well.

My sissy bar was recalled. They had an outside company manufacture them and were a little too small. Bolts would eventually break and rattle
